October 5th, 2021Community grants open for Hepburn Shire

With COVID restrictions easing, this is an opportunity for community groups to apply for Round 2 of Community Grants.

Council is offering $65,000 in Community Grants across the financial year to not-for-profit community groups or organisations for the benefit of the Hepburn Shire community.

Mayor Cr Lesley Hewitt said that community grants helped groups bring ideas to life.

“Community grants help community groups and organisation with projects that they may not be able to deliver otherwise,” said Cr Hewitt.

Round 2 categories include: Active and Engaged Communities; Quality Community Infrastructure (including small equipment); Sustainable Environments; and Children’s Program (specifically for 8 – 12 years).

Round 2 closes October 29.

Council officers are available for community groups to contact and discuss ideas on 5348 2306.
